Yep --- growing up, I was sure that I never wanted kids! I didn't like to babysit at all, but as it turns out I just didn't like taking care of other people's children!

With only a few more days of summertime left before school planning kicks in and life takes on a more strict schedule, I plan on playing in my scrap room for the next 2 days! I'll be back to share with you! Have a great Thursday everyone.

My name is Kim and I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my wonderful husband and energetic kids! I am never without a good photo opportunity and that is what fuels my scrapbooking obsession! I am blessed to have a family of friends in the industry that support me and make me smile every day. Thank you for stopping by and I hope I inspire you! Make sure you create some everyday -- after all -- art is the only way to run away without leaving your house!
